“Will you marry me?”

Athena’s words flowed so clearly into my ears and into my heart.

Boom- Boom-

Emotions that can’t be controlled at all.

My heart was beating so hard it could be heard outside, and a teardrop, uncontrollably, rolled down my cheek.

Perhaps it’s fortunate that I have my mouth covered with both hands.

I was able to stop the strange sounds from coming out of my mouth.

proposal of marriage.

To be honest, when I only watched the video, I was puzzled to see women crying after receiving a proposal. But now that I am in that situation, I can understand it a hundred times over.

Me too. Because I was shedding tears.

I was feeling firsthand how beautiful a proposal is and how much joy it brings.

“Ah..ah..”

I couldn’t even speak properly because of the overwhelming emotions.

Athena, who had been watching my reaction for a moment, slowly got up and placed the ring on my hand.

“I know. You’re not ready yet. I just wanted to make the proposal certain.”

“Ah..Tena..”

“You don’t have to take it right away. Think about it carefully and give me an answer. I’ll be waiting.”

Could it be because the beautiful view of the ocean and the pleasant breeze created a strange atmosphere?

Athena’s shallow laugh made my heart beat even faster and start beating like crazy.

I knew she was cool.

From her beautiful appearance to her unrivaled strength, she was a person who was impossible not to be attractive.

However, I thought I had become dull as I had been seeing her for so long… but now, the Athena in front of me felt overly attractive.

I felt like I was being captivated by her mountain-like strength without realizing it.

“Ugh..”

An excited groan escaped from the corner of my mouth.

It was a feeling unlike anything I’d ever felt before.

Of course I loved her.

I had love in my heart as a person of the opposite sex, not as a family member.

But that love was not only for Athena, it was also for everyone else.

Selfishly, I loved everyone.

However, a feeling different from the love I had felt until now began to bloom in my heart.

It was so hard to grasp the emotions I was experiencing for the first time.

But if I had to explain this feeling in words…

I wanted to be Athena’s woman.

I wanted to live with this person’s love.

I wanted to be a wife who Athena looked at with love.

I wanted to give my whole heart to her.

‘…hot.’

My lower stomach felt like it was rumbling.

It was burning hot, as if it wanted something.

“Sorry. I took too long. Let’s go now. Hera, I told you I had something to say.”

Athena held out one of her hands to me as if to ask me to grab it.

I looked at her hand held out in front of me, then at the beautiful ring on my hand.

I placed my hand in hers, holding my pounding heart.

“Other kids are waiting-”

As I slowly took my hand away again, Athena’s words stopped.

The golden ring that Athena gave me. I gave it back to her.

Athena looked at the ring for a long time, then looked out at the sunset sea with a sad expression.

“…I didn’t know I would get a reply this quickly.”

Athena, who had clutched her chest, took a step back and turned her back on me.

“..let’s go.”

Although she seemed to be trying her best not to show it, Athena’s feeble steps spoke volumes about how shocked she was.

I didn’t say anything to her and just waited for her on the pure white sand.

“..Hera?”

Athena turned her back and looked at me again, wondering why I was standing still.

She looked at my face with her eyes wide open.

I can feel the burning sensation, so my face must be as red as a beet by now.

I smiled faintly and held out my left hand to Athena.

“What are you doing Athena.”

“What..?”

Athena stares blankly at me.

I guess he still hasn’t figured out my feelings.

I pushed aside the shame that was welling up in me and stretched out my hands in front of her.

“The ring finger seems a little empty..?”

“…you!”

Athena ran towards me quickly with her reddened eyes and let out a restless voice.

“Really Hera..? Am I thinking the same..?”

“Well~?”

At my words, Athena burst into tears, then hugged me with all her might and shouted loudly.

“I’m not in the mood to joke around Hera! Please tell me..!”

Athena’s face turned red, as if her emotions were running high.

Is the sound of my heart pounding right now mine or Athena’s?

I looked at Athena and carefully told her my honest feelings.

“…..Athena. I can’t love only you.”

“…”

She listens to me silently.

I continued talking.

“I’m so sorry..but I just can’t leave the people who love me.”

“It’s okay, Hera. Because I love you for being so kind.”

Looking at Athena’s straight eyes that did not waver even an inch, something welled up in my chest.

“Really…are you okay? Is this kind of flirtatious country…okay..?”

“No matter what you do, I will love you. So don’t worry, Hera.”

Why on earth does someone like Athena like me so much?

No matter how many times I thought about it, there was no way I could have figured this out.

“Hera…so…my proposal is…?”

When Athena looked at me earnestly, I couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

After watching Athena’s face for a while, I cautiously spoke to her.

“…Put the ring on me.”

At my words, Athena’s eyes filled with moisture.

She immediately knelt down in front of me and gently placed a ring on my left ring finger, which was extended forward.

How did you know me so well? The ring fit my finger perfectly.

Athena stood up again, brought her eyes to my level, and looked at me with an intensity that was too intense for words to describe.

I naturally put both hands around her waist.

Just like that, we turned our backs on the beautiful beach.

We shared a kiss hotter than any summer.

*

“”….””

My home and theirs are back again.

Marie, Lily, Dania, Iris, and Ariel were all looking at me with their mouths wide open.

To be exact, he was not looking at my face, but at the ring on my left ring finger.

“Uh..Sister..? What..is that ring..?”

Lily points to my finger with a trembling hand.

At the mention of the ring, my face burned without me knowing it.

Lily stared at my blushing face for a long time, then moved her calm eyes towards Athena and growled.

“You… said you’d wait for an answer, but you went first…”

“I waited for an answer, I heard it today, why?”

As Athena shrugged her shoulders with a calm expression, Lily bit her lip and approached me.

“Sister.. Are you accepting my marriage..?”

I nodded with a slightly red face.

“Uh..yeah..I. decided to get married.”

Lily’s eyes widened.

But even after hearing my answer, Lily still held on to me and had no intention of letting go.

As if waiting for an answer.

I looked at Lily cautiously.

Her eyes, which had grown at least twice as large, were filled with indescribable emotions.

However, most of those feelings were negative.

Worry. Anxiety. Nervousness.

These were the kinds of emotions that made people’s hearts worn out.

I hugged her tightly so that my sister wouldn’t feel uneasy, then glanced at the other women.

“I have something to say to everyone.”

They all listened to me with bated breath.

I tried to tell them right away, but the words wouldn’t come out easily.

‘It’s so embarrassing, really..!’

I never dreamed that I would say this myself… I felt like I was dying of embarrassment.

But it must be done.

They have been considerate of me so far.

He never mentioned marriage at all and just waited for my answer.

I want to repay them.

…and.

Now I wanted to keep my promise to Arewa.

I took a deep breath and clenched my fist.

“I really love everyone. But if you ask me to marry everyone, I don’t know..”

I continued talking without even hearing an answer.

“I think it would really hurt if the person I like fell in love with someone else. That’s why I haven’t accepted anyone’s heart for a while.”

“Sister..We!”

“Shh.”

Lily was about to say something, but Dania nodded to me and covered Lily’s mouth.

I smiled at my sister who understood my feelings and said my last words.

“But…if you really want to marry me…if you really don’t mind…”

I wiggled my fingers a few times and then confessed my feelings.

“I think I could marry anyone..”

My words brought an endless silence to the room.

After a short while like that.

“Ha..I want to! Let’s get married, sis!”

“Mom! Me too..Me too!”

“I don’t mind as long as I can be by Hera’s side!”

“Hera! Then you’ll accept me too?”

Everyone except Dania and Athena rushed at me at once.

“Huh..? Wait..?”

When I suddenly bumped into four people running towards me, my body fell backwards along with them.

In an instant, my body was crushed by four women and I couldn’t move.

“Kids…Kids, wait a minute, it’s too heavy..!”

“Thank you, sis..I will give everything to you.”

“Mom..there are many now..but later on, let’s have a happy married life with Marie.”

“Hera..I love you..”

“Hera..”

But they don’t seem to have any intention of getting out of the way.

Soon, their weight began to press down on me, and I began to feel an ominous feeling in my heart.

“Kids..Kids, come out for a second..”

As the girls who were on top of me started to move little by little, someone’s strong knee pressed against my lower abdomen.

“Ugh?!”

A feeling that comes suddenly.

I struggled with the dizzying sensation, but I couldn’t escape from the four of them.

So once again.

Kook-

“Huh?! Hey..kids, wait..!”

“Sister..I’ll make you happy..”

“Ah..no, come out for a second..-”

Chuuaap-

“Excited?!!?!”

“Mom. So, from now on, I can sleep with Marie every day?”

“Ah..who is touching my chest right now..! Eek?”

“Hera..Hera..”

“Okay.. Wait!! I touched a weird place.! Get out of the way! Not there..! No..”

Tsk tsk-

“Wow?!!?”

*

Dania looked at Hera, who was convulsing under the weight of several women, and slowly approached Athena.

“Let me prepare the wedding.”

“….”

As Athena raised one eyebrow, Dania continued speaking while looking at Hera, whose eyes were rolled back for some reason.

“There’s not much I can do for Hera… At least I want to prepare for the wedding.”

“…I think it’s more than anyone else.”

Although many women were after Hera, the one Athena was most wary of was undoubtedly Dania.

Because it was the kindness that only she possessed, that no one could possibly emulate, that always made Hera happy.

Athena let out a short sigh and looked at Dania.

“You prepare yourself. I will prepare myself too.”

“..hehehe.”

As if she had expected this answer, Dania smiled lightly and looked at Hera.

– Huh? You… as one of you..! Huh-ho clothes?!

wedding ceremony.

A time that will never come again, and a time more beautiful than ever.

Dania and Athena both promised Hera that they would give her an unforgettable wedding.

I hope nothing happens unexpectedly.
